Naturopathic Medicine

I am up and it is late.  I slept the entire afternoon away and now my brain is active.  The rhythm is all messed up now.  Maybe if I get what is on my mind down for others to absorb I will be able to sleep!

Here we go.  It is week 7 next week and the quarter is starting to wind down.  This is about when I start looking around for other professions to enter in order to end my suffering here in chiroland.  I pick everything apart that I can find that needs picking and I make plans to transition to another profession.  The problem is I am running out of professions to leave and go to.  Go figure!

I have been looking at Naturopathic Medicine lately to fulfill that curious bug.  It looks kind of cool with all the natural remedies for health care issues and their basic tenants in prevention.  It turns out that a "source" at WSCC told me that the local school of natural medicine is, "unorganized, disjointed and chaotic."  Wow!  Worse than our school?  No way!  

I suppose when you are in the midst of getting your ass kicked by school it is easy to try and fight back by picking it to pieces.  I do have a habit of imploding about half way through each quarter and I think we've hit climax.  

My concern is that our education will be heavily weighted in musculoskeletal disease/Tx and not much in the major killer chronic ailments.  For those who want to manage metabolic issues rather than refer them out, this program doesn't hit the marks.  I know that I will have to get more education beyond the doctorate to get the skills I want in practice.  This is concerning.

To end, I will say this, I don't intend on quitting school.  I may go on to get the ND degree at some point after the DC program, however.  I am tired and in need of a long relaxing break.  As many of you are too.  You are not alone!!!
